And just as Montag was about to step out of Faber’s back door, Faber had a needle in his hand and injected it into Montag’s neck .
“I’m sorry,” Faber cried, “I don’t know why!”
And just like a person on anesthesia, Montag suddenly collapsed into Faber’s arms. When Montag woke up, he was in a white room. Very much like Millie’s parlor, except the White Clown was not there. The walls were pearl-white, and he was dressed like if he were in heaven. Montag was confused, and he felt as if he couldn’t move, as if he were paralyzed.

First, the doctor pointed to the man, “This is Chancellor Montag,” then he pointed to the woman, “and this is his wife, Mrs. Monica Montag.
